The Benefits of Awnings Explained

Retractable awnings let home owners control the great British weather on their own terms. When passing showers threaten in the summer and Autumn, or when the sun gets too hot, they or the intelligent home automation systems available unroll the awning for protection and shade. It has been shown that it can be as much as 20 degrees cooler under an awning’s canopy.

Because awnings prevent the suns rays from shining through windows and sliding glass doors, they can keep temperatures inside cooler as well, which saves on air-conditioning costs and they can help prevent carpets, rugs and furniture from fading in direct sunlight. Awnings also provide a sheltered place for your children and pets to play, shielded from direct sunlight but also protected from rain with certain awning models.

Some of the more recent developments in awnings provide accessories that can greatly increase the versatility and usefulness you can get from your deck or patio. A screen room add-on can easily turn an awning into a virtually wind free outdoor room, side screening cuts down on wind and mist coming under the sides of awnings, and patio lights let people enjoy their decks evenings and nights. The supported awning using an aluminium framework allows even further extensions of the fabric to a maximum of about 6 metres and also means the awning can be left out in higher wind speeds and rainfall too. Systems such as the Markilux Pergola or the Weinor Pergotex will achieve far greater outdoor area use most of the year round.

All of the Cambridge Patio Awnings we supply are fully retractable and are available with full cassette, semi cassette or open cassette covers to protect against the sun. This enables you to enjoy the shade and shelter which a patio awning provides.

Whilst being able to effectively offer sun protection, our patio awnings are available with a variety of different material covers to offer effective shade against sun glare and the rain. A waterproof patio awning allows you to remain outdoors even during rainfall keeping you and your patio area dry.

We only deal with manufacturers and models of the highest quality to ensure that the best performance possible is provided for many years to come and that you remain deeply satisfied after dealing with us.

A properly specified and installed Sun Awning can make the difference between a relaxing, beautiful outdoor space and an area spoiled by a powerfully strong sun or even light rainfall in the summer or autumn months. Samson Awnings & Terrace Covers supply and install a range of sun awnings suited to blocking out the powerful heat from the sun without losing the natural light. We also offer awnings quite capable of dealing with rain and higher wind speeds than most normal basic awnings.

Even though sun awnings are designed for use to block the sun, they are also designed to withstand light rainfall when used to cover an entertainment area at night. With in-built tilting halogen lamps, our sun awnings with lights can be quickly extended and brighten up any area with the simple click of a remote control handset.

Terrace & Patio Covers are the ideal solution to all weather protection for both domestic and commercial environments. With their unique adaptability, our solid structure canopies can be installed almost anywhere and everywhere. No product demonstrates this more than our Samson SupaRoof Patio Cover System.

In a domestic environment our fine terrace covers can offer you effective sun shading in the summer and unrivalled waterproof protection in the winter – this is all thanks to our fantastic choice of either polycarbonate or glass roofing panels to both personalise and enhance your garden entertainment area allowing you to use it all year round.

In a commercial environment our terrace covers allows pubs, restaurants, community centres, schools and more to fully take advantage of their external areas and allow your guests to fully embrace the natural light and enjoy the fresh air whilst still being protected from the weather.

Our Large Umbrellas & Giant Parasols are some of the most highly engineered products on the market. We supply and install a range of high quality umbrellas capable of spanning up to 70m² in one umbrella!! Join more than one together and you can cover vast areas for commercial or domestic use.

We specialise in the supply and installation of two main types of large umbrellas & giant parasols.

Centre Pole Umbrellas are fixed to a supporting pole in the centre and are highly popular in dining areas where a table can be inserted around the supporting poles.
The new range of May umbrellas manufactured in Germany offer some very interesting solutions, even providing an electric operated umbrella system!!

Cantilever Umbrellas offer more useable room underneath the fabric canopy as they have a side-arm construction which allows them to offer practical shading over an area without the obstruction of a supporting pole.
Our main manufacturers for these include Paraflex and May umbrellas.

Carports offer unobtrusive driveway cover with the use of a simple canopy and standing support structure. Our Carports require installation against an already existing wall however this enables you to park closer to your home.

A Samson Carport allows you to conveniently park your car whilst being protected from the scorching sun or the freezing rain. Our carports

vary in size from small Carports, medium sized Carports all the way to infinitely sized Carports thanks to their unique ability to be coupled together multiple times.

The large waterproof canopy is supported by steel columns which offer strenuous support. This enables it to offer continuous support through all types of weather whilst still offering sun shading and rain protection to your car.
